Preview:

The Giant’s long and poor season is almost finished however, players and supporters will have to live through another big loss this weekend as Richmond look to bounce back from their recent loss to Carlton.

The bright news for the Giants is that forward Jeremy Cameron is in contention for this year’s Coleman medal for leading goal scoring.

He’s currently tied with Hawthorn’s Jarryd Roughead and West Coast’s Josh Kennedy on 60 goals.

Richmond had the opportunity last week to distance themselves from several teams vying for a position in the bottom half of the eight and, finish Carlton’s season however the Tigers fall 10 points short.

They’ll bounce back to form here and will need to do so in convincing style as Essendon await them in the final round of the season.

It’s the first time these two clubs have met and GWS will be given 67.5 start. The Giants have lost nine games this year by margins greater than this and should struggle to contain the Tigers to finish under this mark.

Cameron cool about Coleman Medal race

His teammates may admonish him for it, but Greater Western Sydney key forward Jeremy Cameron won’t change his unselfish approach in the final fortnight of the AFL season as the race to the Coleman Medal heats up.

Cameron, West Coast’s Josh Kennedy and Hawthorn ace Jarryd Roughead have each kicked 60 goals to be in the box seat to claim the prize awarded to the league’s leading goal-kicker each season.

Given Cameron and the Giants are both in their second season, he’s become the sentimental favourite to take out the individual honour and the likes of Kennedy and two-time Coleman medallist Jack Riewoldt have publicly thrown their support behind him.

Cameron’s teammates have also vowed to help his cause, and they weren’t happy when he dished off a certain goal to midfielder Lachie Whitfield in the side’s last-start 10-goal loss to Brisbane.

“If I had my time again I’d still give off the handball. A few of the boys have got into me about it, Lachie said he’d never forgive me if I lost (the Coleman Medal) by one (goal),” the 20-year-old said ahead of his side’s clash with Richmond at Skoda Stadium on Sunday.

“…At the end of the year if I happen to win it, I’d be rapt definitely.

“But you got to put the team first and we want to play good football and finish off what’s been a long, but very enjoyable, year.”

GWS coach Kevin Sheedy was thrilled with Cameron’s selfless pass to Whitfield.

“It’s good to see him develop as a person,” Sheedy said on Wednesday, when Cameron was appointed an AFL junior football ambassador for NSW and the ACT.

“That handball was a dead set leadership handball. (He was saying) I don’t care about myself, I care about doing the right thing.”

Cameron, who has remained as level-headed and laid-back as ever despite his meteoric rise, seemed genuinely relaxed about the chance to bring home GWS’s first trophy or medal of any description.

“It’s kind of been a surprise for me, but I’m happy with the way I’m going,” he said.

Sheedy was more worried about whether Cameron will be named in the AFL’s All-Australian team and recognised as one of the best 22 footballers in the country.

“He’s done very, very well. I hope he does make All-Australian, I think he deserves that,” the four-time premiership coach said.

“I’ll be more interested in him being in the best team selected from the AFL.”
